Pacific Ocean swash
leaves hints upon the sand
of its nether world below
discards abyssal remnants
for moon jellyfish dissolve
and blue mussel shell wreck
and blur of flea hazed kelp
erases imprint of a barefoot path
mizzles spray soak to a chill
and dims wave crash to a hiss
between our separate range
there will be no translation
no easy blending to exist
only recognition of circumference
where the taste of sea in salt
is faint as watermark
